Lowe’s son was Hummons' father. Lowe said she didn’t get to spend much time with Hummons after he turned 6 years old because of differences between his parents.

Lowe said she woke up Sunday and began praying, trying to find answers as to why Friday’s tragedy happened. She said it really hit her Sunday -– the pain that Kim’s family was living with.

“That family, those children, the wife. I can’t fathom, so I’m only here to say I am so very sorry,” Lowe said.

Lowe said she’ll never understand Hummons’ actions, but believes he wanted the police to kill him.

“Tre believes, this is the answer I got, if he killed himself, he wouldn’t have the opportunity to say, 'I’m sorry forgive me God.' A lot of times people think if they’re going to commit suicide they’re going to go to hell,” said Lowe.

Lowe said she could not go on any longer without making a public apology to Kim’s wife and three sons, and she understands if the family is not ready to accept her apology. She said she had to apologize so the family would know how sorry she is about what happened to Kim.

“I also want to say to the police force, for those that worked with him, for those that were close to him personally, I want to offer my condolences,” said Lowe.

Pastor Jackie Jackson of Come as You Are Reach Out Ministries was there to comfort Lowe.

He said both families need prayer.

“We’re hoping that the city, our whole city is praying for both families for peace for an answer that’s hard to get,” said Jackson.
